Re: FN-FORUM: Accessibility Check

date posted 20th March 2006 12:40

Couple of minor points - there's a couple of images missing ALT
attributes. For accessibility purposes I generally check out a site in
Lynx (http://lynx.browser.org/) - any content that isn't visible there
(such as your scrolling frame) is unlikely to be 'accessible'.
